About this property

Rathmhor - lovingly restored traditional stone house in Cairngorms National Park

Rathmhor is a traditional stone and slate house in Lynchat, two miles north-east of the town of Kingussie in the Cairngorms National Park. The house sleeps up to 8 people in 4 bedrooms.

Ground floor: fully-fitted kitchen with electric range cooker, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and washing machine; dining room seating eight; shower-room; front and rear porches; tumble-drier in cupboard under stairs; large twin bedroom 1. First floor: sitting room seating eight with wood-burning stove and 43" HD TV with Amazon Fire stick; king-size bedroom 2 with en-suite shower-room; small twin bedroom 3; king-size bedroom 4; family bathroom. Free unlimited wi-fi.

Large walled garden; courtyard with parking for up to four cars and electric vehicle chargepoint. Beautiful views south across Strathspey to the Glen Feshie hills beyond. And for rail enthusiasts, the Highland Main Line runs only one field away, so you can watch trains go by from the front windows!

Rathmhor was extensively repaired and upgraded in 2017. This work included the installation of a ground source heat pump, so Rathmhor is lovely and warm all year round, even when the outside temperature falls below -10ºC, as it often does in the Cairngorms winter. Rathmhor uses 100% renewable electricity.

Amazing Property/Central Location

We absolutely loved our stay at the property. It's beautiful and clean and perfectly spacious for our group of 5. We even had an extra bedroom! The kitchen is awesome and we cooked breakfasts and one dinner there. The countryside is beautiful and peaceful and we had a couple hours drive in either direction to some great places to sight-see in Scotland. I hope to return!

Wonderful relaxing stay

The property was accurately described and exceeded our expectations. It was immaculately clean with comfortable décor and amenities. The instructions for appliances were well explained. Views from the property helps instill a sense of wellbeing and the weather permitted relaxation in the garden. The property is 10 minutes drive to the village where there is a Co-Op and restaurants. 10 minutes drive in the other direction takes you to the Wildlife Park which out children really enjoyed. There is also a watersports park about 20 minutes away. 35 minutes drive towards FW we found a 4x4 and quadbike tour through one of the estates. Mountain Biking is available 45 minutes away at WolfTraxx and at FW at Ben Nevis resort. The Wifi at the property was fast and allowed our children to continue their online summer schools. If we returned to the area, we would stay at this property again, it was excellent value and we appreciate the effort, care and hard work the owners have put into creating a wonderful holiday property.

Home in the Highlands

Beautiful, historical cottage in a great setting that provides easy access to the ScotRail system, if you are not inclined to drive. Spacious accommodation with a working stove in the second floor living room to ward off the cold, Highland nights. Plenty of wildlife, ancient buildings, and sights to take in, all within easy reach of the property. Owners were friendly, accessible, and always willing to provide answers, advice, and assistance for every situation we encountered. This was amongst the best holiday experiences we've had.

Einfach zauberhaft.

Es ist genau das wie es hier steht: Es ist ein "liebevoll restauriertes traditionelles Steinhaus". Wir hatten uns sofort wohl gefühlt. Es ist wirklich liebevoll eingerichtet. Eine wunderschöne Verbindung von traditionell und modern/praktisch. Die Ausstattung ist hervorragend. Die Küche ist regelrecht exzellent ausgestattet. Am Kamin im Wohnzimmer sitzt es sich sehr gemütlich. Da schmeckt der Whisky aus der Gegend noch besser. Das alles super sauber und in gutem Zustand war möchte ich dennoch extra erwähnen. Es sind sogar viele Spiele und Bücher vorhanden. Die Lage ist ideal. Supermarkt im Ort oder in 15 min mit dem Auto in Aviemore. Viel Sehenswürdigkeiten sind in maximal 2h Autofahrt erreichbar. Sehenswert auch der Wald und die Berge nur 1 km hinter dem Haus (unter der A9 durch und dann rechts). Rachel and John sind super nette Vermieter, die für Fragen zur Verfügung stehen (gar nachfragen wie es einen geht) und die kleine Aufmerksamkeit im Esszimmer zur Begrüßung war auch super nett. Wir kommen gern wieder.
